If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

Footnote: Fritz Wulf was born on August 23, 1874 in Herne (western Germany). He joined the local Füsilier Regiment 40 in 1893 as an Officer Cadet and became a Lieutenant in 1894. Promoted to Captain in 1911, Wulf would go on to command a battalion in the 170th Infantry Regiment after the beginning of the First War. His unit was stationed at the Western Front. After being wounded repeatedly, Wulf had to give up his command in order to recover. When he was fit for front duty again in the spring of 1917, Wulf was given command of the 111th Infantry Regiment, part of the 52nd Division. He received his promotion to Major on August 18, 1917. Wulf distinguished himself in the battle near Soissons and Reims in late May of 1918, and again during defensive battles between the Argonne Forest and the River Maas. For this he was awarded the Pour le Mérite on October 8, 1918. He was wounded a total of five times during the war, receiving the Wound Badge in Gold. After a short spell in the Reichswehr and the police force in the city of Essen, Wulf eventually became a merchant in the city of Kassel, where he died on November 3, 1934.
